Hi,
I'm doing some statistical analysis about a project involving a transplant. So, I calculated the cumulative incidence of the non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival, and then, to evaluate if there was an association with some variables, I used both a univariate and multivariate analysis with Cox regression.
Then I received this comment from a reviewer:" If you did cumulative incidence function for univariate NRM, then don’t you need to do competing risks regression for multivariable NRM? I thought Cox was the multivariable version of Kaplan Meier and just used for OS? "
Is what I have done correct or I should have done as the reviewer is suggesting, I'm not sure about that.
Thanks a lot for your help.
